Just bought a Lyrix amp for my Triple-fis and I am defintely doing something wrong. For now the music is getting washed out greatly in low or high gain. Or maybe there is signal missing and it could be my LOD? Though my current LOD is a new one; here it is.

Hmmm, sounds like a weak battery - check that first. Is the problem in both channels, and you know the LOD is not defective? Did you plug the input and headphones into the correct jacks?

Can anyone tell me if the Caffeine Ultra charges the battery when the amp itself is switched off, with the wall wart plugged in and the amp working the circuit board gets quite warm this is not the case when I have the charger plugged in and the amp switched off, basically does the amp have to be switched on to charge the battery?

I tried to buy a discounted 2.0 solely for the sake of review - someone else got to it before I did, and JSeaber has not tried to put another one in my hands. Now I have replaced the Penguin with a Lyrix, since someone wanted the Penguin badly; and I can't compare them even if I did have a 2.01 JSeaber BB Cmoy.

Noob here...I just found this thread and have been reading it all day. Very interesting and a very nice review too. I have been looking at these types of amps on Ebay for some time now and after reading the review I now know what I want. I checked the Penguin website and it seems they won't be available until May. I do have a question tho. I have an ipod 120 with a pair of Sony V900HDs. I have a LOD for it but I haven't had a chance to utilize it yet. What should I expect as far as SQ improvement goes if I get one of the Penguin amps using the line out?
